The University of Texas School of Nursing was originally established in Galveston, Texas, in 1890 as the John Sealy Hospital Training School. In 1923, the School began offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in cooperation with the University of Texas.
In 1960, the first nursing courses were offered on the Austin campus. In 1976, as part of a reorganization of University of Texas' system of nursing schools, the School of Nursing officially became a part of the University of Texas at Austin. In 1974, the School began offering a PhD in Nursing, the seventh school in the nation to do so.[6]
